The month of May is a lovely time to visit Ibiza. After the tranquility of the winter, the island wakes up and is an explosion of light and colours. Imagine fresh, clean air, blue skies, green countryside and brilliant sunshine… this time of year usually enjoys very pleasant temperatures, and an inviting clear blue sea for invigorating dips.

Things to do during May

At Sirenis Hotels & Resorts, we have prepared a list of suggestions and recommendations so that you may take advantage of all the island has to offer during the month of May:

1.-The First Sunday of May Fiesta in Santa Eulalia, held on the 3rdMay 2015 a procession of cars and old motorbikes parades through the centre of the town, and traditional horse-drawn carts with men and women dressed up in the traditional ibicencan costumes (payeses).

2.-The Medieval Fair in the old town in Ibiza (Dalt Vila), from the 7th 10th May 2015. This fair is a huge success each year and the old quarter of the town transforms into a medieval scene.

3.-Discover the charming bays on the island.

4.-Visit Es Vedrá …

Es Vedrá, a landmark rock island, is a superb setting for sunsets with magnificent views.

San Antonio is a must to experience the spectacular sunsets, one of the first places to combine the sunsets with music.

5.-Las Dalias is one of the nicest places in the area to enjoy an exotic cocktail, cold beer or whatever you

like with a good atmosphere, good music and the chance to buy local craftwork.

Visit the Hippy Market at Punta Arabí.

In existence for more than 30 years, the market in Es Canar holds the essence of the hippy culture in Ibiza.

6.-Escape to Formentera and enjoy the tranquility of its beaches during the month of May…

Fine sandy beaches with turquoise clear sea.

7.-Savour the ibicencan gastronomy and try a delicious “Bullit de peix” (fish stew) or a paella in one of the traditional restaurants overlooking the sea.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, where the traditional dishes are lovingly home made.

8.-If you are a water sports lover, Ibiza will satisfy your every need as you’ll find wind surf, kite surf, paddle surf, jet skis and more.

9.-Dress in white, with the Adlib fashion. You will find a variety of shops offering fashion by the most famous ibicencan designers. Casual, comfortable and sexy clothing representing the free spirit of Ibiza.

10.-The openings of the fashionable spots on the island with the unique atmosphere of Ibiza and the chance to relax at the exclusive beach clubs.
